Absolutely disgusting. Â I read the reviews on yelp and google and HOPED for something even semi edible. Â I was really hopeful but should have known that what categorized as 'real' Thai' Â food in Cape coral can't pass for mall food in any other part of the country. Â
Ordered Pad Thai thinking if you claim to be Thai you can't mess that one up. Â You do. Â NASTY. Â NASTY. Â NASTY. Â CRAP! Â No bamboo shoots- nothing but nasty overdone noodles with msg sauce! Â HORRID! Â
Chicken Lomein - EQUALLY DISGUSTING! Â NASTY! Â I am so disappointed. Â Was hoping for edible! Â NOT! Â And they have the assumption that they can charge like 10.95 for a small plate of sub par mall food. PLEASE. Â
Soup- horrible- chicken has no flavor. Â They bought the base somewhere and threw the chicken pieces in later. Â GROSS! Â I will post a picture of the food and the box we took it out in. Â It was a miracle whip box. Tell me why a Thai restaurant buys Miracle Whip by the case. Â Oh wait- I think I know.
In a dump strip mall and get this... they charge you 25% to eat there! Â HA HA!
If you are visiting from any place with decent Thai food- don't waste your time eating at this place. Â
Okay- awesome business opportunity for a great Thai restaurant- come to Cape Coral and make a million! Â
This place makes Panda Kitchen in the mall seem like gourmet. Â
$35 Â takeout for two- in the trash. Â Lesson learned.
Update: Â I called to complain after writing this review. Â The rude girl that takes the orders was again rude to me and then gave the phone to a guy who yelled at me and told me I was trying to get free food. Â (A joke since I never asked for a refund of any type. Â I simply called to complain.) Â Eventually he was screaming and told me to come down there so he could kick my ***. Â Nice huh? Â This is how you resolve complaints about the food? Â I hung up on the guy. Â About 10 minutes later we got a phone call back from the place and my husband took the call. Â He was furious as he had heard the conversation. Â
It turned out to be the manager or owner or both that somehow heard what was going on and called to try and clear things up. Â He did state that he was having a meeting and someone was getting fired. Â However, he also told us that the cooks there told him that the reason the food tastes bad is because of the Cape Coral water. Â
What more can I say???
I enjoyed the Thai food but it was not by far the best I have ever had. Â It is pretty loud inside and when I asked our waitress if we could move to another table because they had just seated a very very loud table of 4 next to us it seemed to piss the waitress off.
We had not even ordered when we placed this request. I told her that I could see they were old friends getting together and we did not want to stop them from having a good time. Â Yet our waitress acted like we were a problem. From that point on our service was poor at best.
Food wise it was pretty good, but I have had fantastic Thia food in the past so I am comparing this to a great Thia restaurants in Bedford Ma. I like my veggies aldente which is traditional Thai cooking. These were well done. The sauces were pretty good and the portions were good, although I did have to beg for more white rice..
I will go back and try the food again. Maybe the waitress won't have a bad attitude this time.
This is certainly one of the better Thai restaurants in the Fort Myers/Cape Coral area, and we've tried quite a few.
The five of us made a reservation and when we arrived they had a small round table ready for us. It was really rather small, so we requested the table next to the window that was on an elevated platform. It was quite nice.
ALERT: For some reason (and they did warn us of this in advance) they add 25% to your bill for sitting there. Not cool. There is also a loud metallic chime on the door and every time it opens it rings for 5-10 seconds. Pleasant the first time, but it becomes annoying soon.
Food - 5 STARS
Ambiance - 5 STARS
Location - 4 STARS
Service - 5 STARS
A nice place, aside from the 25% surcharge and constant chimes, which cause the 1 STAR demerit.
